I don’t know about you, but Blog Post Bingo was a lot harder for me than I expected! I’m a little worn out, so this week’s Blog Improvement Project activity is going to be more low-key. This week we’re going to focus on blog basics — when a new reader gets to your site, how [...]
Blog Improvement Project
Week 4 of the Blog Improvement Project was Blog Post Bingo. Of the people who signed Mr. Linky that they participated, 8 of them completed all 10 posts: Dorte H at DJs Krimiblog (with a little fudging), Suey at It’s All About Books, Sherrie at Just Books, Sarah at Behold, the thing that reads a [...]
No wrap-up for Week Two, partially based on a suggestion from Elizabeth at Thoughts from an Evil Overlord that we check back in a few months to see how the regular features are going. I think that’s smart, so we’ll do a wrap up of Week 2 sometime in the future. Week 3 of the [...]
